This contract does not have a set-aside designation. Cornell University, as...
- This federal contract award to Cornell University, a private research university, is for the High-Resolution Mid-Infrared Spectrometer (HIRMES) instrument that will be provided to the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) program. The HIRMES instrument offers sensitivity and spectral resolution capabilities that enable unique observations of planetary system evolution and other astrophysical phenomena. This $87,521.34 grant-funded contract has a completion date of June 30,...
- This federal contract award, with a ceiling value of $309,642.00, was granted to Cornell University by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for research on "A NOVEL APPROACH TO MAXIMIZE THE ASTROPHYSICAL AND COSMOLOGICAL INFORMATION EXTRACTED FROM THERMAL SUNYAEV-ZELDOVICH MAPS." The contract is a grant for research and does not have a set-aside designation. Cornell University, a private research university and 1862 Land Grant College located in Ithaca, New York,...
- This is a $435,766.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Cornell University for the development of open source tools to map exoplanet science goals to the architecture properties of a future infrared, optical, and ultraviolet (IR/O/UV) space observatory. The grant supports research under solicitation 22-ADSPS22-0011, "Open Source Tools for Mapping Exoplanet Science Goals to Architecture Properties of the IR/O/UV Great Observatory," with a...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $124,999.93 grant to Cornell University to research a modular, self-assembling architecture for constructing large, reflective, space-based telescopes with active optics. The proposed system would enable the construction of 30+ meter diameter telescopes at the Sun-Earth L2 point using a single, mass-produced spacecraft module design. Each module would include a hexagonal, one-meter diameter spacecraft bus with an integrated,...
- This federal contract award to Cornell University, a private research university, will facilitate carbon flux monitoring using novel solar-induced fluorescence (SIF) datasets. The $114,092.00 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center is intended to help reduce the uncertainty of carbon flux estimates. The award does not have a set-aside designation. Cornell University, as the prime contractor, will leverage its expertise in scientific research...
- This is a definitive contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Goddard Space Flight Center to Cornell University to provide the facilities, personnel, services, and materials necessary to design, analyze, manufacture, test, and deliver the functioning Fabry-Perot Active and Passive Interferometers for the High Resolution Mid-Infrared Spectrometer (HIRMES) instrument. The contract has a ceiling value of $2,524,655.00 and a period of performance through September...
- This federal contract award, valued at $469,331.00, was granted to Cornell University by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to execute a balanced science program. The contract focuses on scientific research of, on, and from the Moon, Lunar orbit, Mars, and beyond, as well as advancing discovery in emerging fields by identifying and exploiting cross-disciplinary opportunities. The award does not have a set-aside designation. As a private, land-grant research university,...
This federal contract award to Cornell University, a private research university, is for the design, construction, and testing of silicon substrate-based Fabry-Perot interferometer (FPI) mirrors. These mirrors will be used in the 25-40 µm mid-infrared band and are expected to provide improved performance over existing free-standing metal mesh mirrors. The $1,132,748.06 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) supports the development of this FPI technology, which could enhance instruments on missions like the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA). The project aims to advance NASA's strategic goals of expanding scientific knowledge and capabilities, as well as supporting STEM education. No set-aside designation was indicated for this award.
